A 12-year-old boy was injured Monday afternoon in a drive-by shooting in Milwaukee's Riverwest neighborhood, a police official said.

The boy was inside a car on the 2800 block of North Holton Street at about 3:50 p.m. when someone in a passing car fired shots. He was taken to a hospital with a non-life-threatening injury, the spokesman said.

Nadia Fonseca's younger brother, 14-year-old Cory, was in the backseat on the passenger side of the car. He wasn't hit.

"I'm just like looking for him running down crying and like, 'Is he OK? Is he OK?'" Fonseca said. "When I saw him I knew he was OK."

Fonseca said her brother was on his way to get a haircut when his friends saw him and told him to get in the Camry and that they would drive him there. She's thankful her brother wasn't hurt and is praying for the boy who's in the hospital.

"Nobody knows when it's their last day. A bullet does not have a name," Fonseca said. "Parents are losing their kids left and right and it’s not okay."
